A 12-YEAR-OLD boy skipped Form One during the first term and shifted focus to home schooling before passing four of the six subjects in his Cambridge Ordinary Level examinations — just seven months later.
Divine Samuriwo turns 13 on Saturday.
He skipped from his Form One class after just one term.
A few months later, he sat for the November Cambridge examinations and passed four of his six subjects.
He scored an A in commerce and Bs in Business Studies, Economics and Accounts a D in English and an E in Maths.
He dreams of becoming a chartered accountant. Divine is currently doing a diploma in ACCA, running concurrently with his Advanced Level studies.
His parents even went with him to Zanzibar to celebrate before the O-Level results were even out.
“I decided to skip Form One after realising that the route was too long to get to Form Four. With the support of my parents, I then started home schooling, preparing for the O-Level exams.
